Jim Jordan gains support as vote nears for U.S. House speaker, but outcome still in doubt

Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan is confident he will secure the necessary votes to be elected speaker of the House, despite facing opposition from some members of his own party. Jordan, a polarizing figure in American politics, will need the backing of nearly all 221 GOP lawmakers in order to hold the highest office in Congress. Multiple votes may be held to elect a speaker, as happened in January when Kevin McCarthy won after 15 ballots. Jordan and his allies are pressing House GOP members to vote for him, arguing that the chamber needs a speaker to begin moving legislation again.

Dianne Feinstein's Death Puts Pressure on Gavin Newsom: How It Impacts

The death of Sen. Dianne Feinstein has put pressure on Gov. Gavin Newsom to choose a successor acceptable to Black Democrats. Newsom's previous decision to replace Sen. Kamala Harris with Sen. Alex Padilla upset Black Democrats, and now there are concerns about his choice for Feinstein's replacement. Rep. Barbara Lee, a Black woman running for Feinstein's seat, would seem like a logical choice, but Newsom previously stated that he would appoint a Black woman on an interim basis. This decision has sparked controversy and protests from Lee and others who believe that appointing a Black woman as a caretaker is insulting. Newsom's relationship with the Black community has been strained, and his decision for Feinstein's replacement will be crucial for his political ambitions.
